Resource Summary: Throughout the public health emergency, health centers have adapted and evolved to serve their communities amid a confluence of factors. As such, it is becoming crucially important to understand the different strategies and partnerships that have emerged from this crisis. Health centers have an important and essential role in addressing the health-harming social and legal needs of their patients. The National Center for Medical-Legal Partnership (NCMLP) is conducting an environmental scan of health centers with the main goal of establishing, expanding, and sustaining the accessibility and availability of medical-legal partnerships to meet the evolving social needs of patient populations. On September 29, NCMLP staff gave an overview of the data we have so far, why it's so important to complete the scan, and how to actually participate.
